Where is the margin of error that should be given to the attacking player, The technology is not 100% so how can you call it offside, Both blue and red lines looked like they were overlapping each other so the advantage should be the attacking player,

Can we go back and take a look at the mistakes the referees were making before VAR to what is happening in the game today, The clear and obvious errors the Referees were making we could all take and put down as human error,

But VAR with match referees controlling the technology and making errors is unacceptable and should be stopped

Whatever reservations people might rightly have about the process around picking the actual frame they use, this one was close but not quite close enough for the lines to overlap. I’ve not seen the official lines but they’ll be a very slim strip of green between the two lines. That part of the process isn’t a human decision. It’s computer generated.

Apologies - for those of us who didn't watch Coventry and Rags, what was the VAR debacle and at what state of the game?

Coventey scored a last minute winner, cue delerious celebrations and the magic of the cup etc, VAR ruled it out and the stills of the reasoning to are somewhat dubious

seems they have drawn the line over wan bisakas toe so it make the coventry player off by 1mm
The angle used also make him look ahead when they are level
the freezed frame when he is off, the ball hasn't been released when it is he is on

On forests point about Atwell being a Luton fan, if so he shouldn't be involded in games of teams fighting relegation
But then the wolves game at the swamp Michael Salisbury was the VAR official who ruled against Wolves on many calls and he is a known United fan since school

so seems PGMOL don't care about such
 
If my memory serves me right VAR was sold to the fans as technology that would ensure that goals such as Maradona’s handball or Henry’s for France against RoI would be disallowed, or blatant offsides would be easy to overturn. We now have a situation where every decision is forensically analysed to point where one week it’s a red the next it isn’t. That’s not what it was intended to be used for. However I wish it was used when blatant corners are given as goal kicks and vice versa. That takes seconds and is factual. The offside at the end today was too close to call correctly given the shit technology used and the goal should have stood. The system needs a massive overhaul and the authorities need to come out and agree what it is there for.

They possibly have a different criteria as to what constitutes “known” in regard to who referees may support.
